Rover: Your Go‑To Spot for Dog Care, Travel & Training

Welcome to the Rover tag page. If you own a dog or are thinking about getting one, you’ll find everything you need right here. From puppy‑hood challenges to flying with your furry friend, these articles break down the big questions into easy steps.

Quick Advice for New Pup Owners

Getting a puppy is exciting, but the first weeks can feel like a marathon. Our post “What No One Tells You About Getting a Puppy” walks you through hidden costs, sleep loss, and a 30‑day action plan. Start with a simple schedule: feed, potty, play, and sleep in the same order each day. It helps your pup learn what’s expected and reduces accidents.

Speaking of accidents, the “When Should Puppies Stop Peeing in the House?” guide shows you the typical timeline and tricks to speed up house‑breaking. Use a consistent cue word when you take them out, reward immediately, and keep cleaning supplies handy for quick mess wipes.

Travel Made Simple for Dogs

Planning a vacation? Check out the “Dog‑Friendly Holiday Destinations” article for a list of places that welcome dogs, plus tips on finding pet‑friendly lodging. If you’re flying, you have two options: cabin or cargo. The “Which Airlines Allow Pets in Cabin and Cargo” guide lays out which carriers accept dogs, the size limits, and paperwork you’ll need.

Worried about cargo flights? The “Is It Safe for Dogs to Fly in Cargo?” post explains the risks, what airlines do to protect pets, and how to prep your dog for a smoother ride. Pair that with the “Flying With Dogs: Can Your Dog Sit on the Airplane Seat?” article for cabin‑friendly rules and seat‑selection advice.

For everyday trips, the “Is It Safe to Walk Your Dog With Just a Collar?” piece helps you decide if a collar is enough or if a harness is a better choice. The key takeaway: a sturdy harness reduces neck strain and gives you more control on busy sidewalks.

Behavior Insights & Everyday Care

Ever wonder why your dog stretches when you walk in? The “Why Do Dogs Stretch When They See You?” article breaks down the body‑language behind that cute move. It’s a mix of excitement and a quick way to get ready for play.

Grooming can feel like a full‑day job. If you’re curious why a grooming session takes four hours, the “Why Does Dog Grooming Take Four Hours?” post walks you through each step—from bathing and drying to nail trimming and coat finishing. Knowing the process makes you appreciate the work and helps you plan your day.

Want to save on grooming costs? The “Save Money on Dog Grooming” guide shows you which tools are worth buying and how often you really need a professional trim. A good brush, a nail clipper, and a quick bath at home can keep your dog looking fresh between salon visits.

Lastly, if you’re thinking about feeding your dog something new, the “Can Dogs Eat Pineapple?” article explains the benefits and safety tips for this tropical treat. A few small chunks are fine, but avoid the core and skin to prevent stomach upset.
